DIM
(Statement)
Declare an array variable.
DIM <variablename>[<suffix>] [(<element count>[,<element count> [,<element count>]])][AS<variable type>] [,<variablename>[<suffix>]...]
This statement declares the variable specified by <variablename> as an array variable.
Specifying <suffix> declares also the variable type. <suffix> is any of the following.
|
Integer suffix:
|
%
|
|
Single-precision suffix:
|
!
|
|
Double-precision suffix:
|
#
|
|
String suffix:
|
$
|
<suffix> can be omitted. Omitting it regards the array as a single-precision variable of type real.
<element count> should be the maximum number of elements and be 1 or greater.
The total number of elements should not exceed 32767.
Arrays can have up to three dimensions, with subscripts running from 0 to "Element count - 1" for each dimension.
AS<variable type> is any of the following identifiers that declare variable types.
